Where to find old R packages?
You mean like the 'Archive' on CRAN? It is linked from the main packages page, at the bottom. However, I've not heard of that package on CRAN, and it is not in the Windows binary list from 2004 for R 1.7.x. I don't think it ever was on CRAN. Try www.agric.wa.gov.au, which is where Google seems to point you.

I had made copies of all packages (fearing that some might be "taken off the air" but unfortuantely the ScanoR package was removed before I started making copies in 2007). Any help appreciated. Thanks.
